-Several wars begin this.
--The last meeting is 1912-1913.
-That last meeting that actually accomplishes anything is 1878 in Berlin.
Eastern Question: What do we do about the Ottoman empire because it’s a sick man Empire. They are afraid that if the Ottoman Empire collapse (which it is close to doing) then someone will take the land and it will make them much stronger.
Russia wants the land because it’s a warm water port. The Crimeon war
Russia is on one side and there is an alliance between Britain France Ottoman and Sardinian against Russia. Why are the Sardinians, an Island off the coast of Italy, randomly coming in?
They are small with basically no power, and they see an opportunity to get involved and maybe reward of power (nationalism in Italy). Why are the other countries (Britan France, Ottoman Empire) going to war?
Russia argues that they are the protector of Christian threatened in the weakness of the Ottoman Empire. This would take away the “buffer zone.” Buffer Zone- A territory that a third party holds that keep 2 sides from attacking each other.
This whole war is a contest between the European powers for control over the Ottoman Empire.
This war that is technically over, Russia says that they are in charge.
Hunt argues that Nicholas II tricked them into thinking that but he actually is the one in power.

The End of the Concert of Europe
the unification of Italy and Europe is the final thing that pulls apart and ends the concert of Europe
the last concert of Europe takes place in 1912 and 1913, it had to do with wars in the Balkan territory (near Greece)
the last one that actually accomplishes something is in Berlin in 1878
the Eastern Question is the question of what to do with the Ottoman Empire because it is the “sick man of Europe”
the issue is relevant because of the balance of power
they water down their military, Ottoman Empire begins to fall apart
so who will take over that territory
this was supposed to be a buffer zone to Russia
why would Russia would want more land? so they can westernize and get more modern ports
the Crimean War marks the begining of the end of the Concert of Europe over the issue of the Eastern Question
the last big war in Europe was the Thirty Years War, and the Napoleonic Wars so no one is prepared for this war
in this war, they were able to take photographs (second half of the 1800s)
Britain, France, the Ottomans, and Sardinia are fighting in this Crimean War
Sardinia is a tiny island off the coast of Italy
they have no power who decide to help out the big countries so they can get noticed and get rewarded
they want nationalism in Italy
why are they going to war?
the other countries are fighting because Russia argued that they are the protectors of Christians in the Ottoman Empire, they want to expand
Russia’s interests express nationalism
this is a contest between countries in Europe for control over parts of the Ottoman Empire

End of Concert
Q: What caused the Age of the Concert of Europe to fail/end? A: The rise of nationalism, the unification of Germany and the Risorgimento in Italy, and the Eastern Question (the diplomatic and political problems posed by the decay of the Ottoman Empire)
Q: What happens next and what is its effect? A: The Crimean War; it marks the beginning of the end of the Concert of Europe because they are constantly fighting over the Eastern Question
Q: What is the Eastern Question? A: It is “What do we do about the Ottoman Empire because it is the sick man of Europe?”
Q: When was the last concert of Europe that something significant happened? A: 1853-1878 they are dealing with the Eastern Question in the Conference of Berlin
Q: When was the very last concert of Europe? A: 1912-1913; has to do with discussing wars in the Balkins
Q: Who fought in the Crimean War? A: Britain, France, the Ottoman Empire, and Piedmont Sardinia against Russia
Q: What’s Sardinia and why did they join this war? A: Sardinia is an island off Italy, and they join this war to gain power, self-rule, and unite Italy, since they feel a great sense of Nationalism to Italy.
Q: What caused this war? A: Russia argued that they were the protectors of Christians in the Ottoman Empire, which takes away the buffer zone from Russia because they are claiming part of the Ottoman Empire and they can do this because the Ottoman Empire is so weak, so the Concert is not going to let them do that. Russians are traders. They want to “protect” the Christians because they feel connected to them- Nationalism. This is why Metternich hates Nationalism.
Q: Why would Russia claim that territory? A: Napoleon III, nephew of Napoleon I, made himself the Emperor in France and he claims the land in Russia in order to upset Nicholas of Russia and trick him into trying to claim that land in order to manipulate him into breaking the Concert of Europe so he could conquer more land and take over like Napoleon I
